"It's not." Wen Qing denied it.

Master Zhu was stunned.

"I didn't want Uncle Tong to help." Wen Qing explained.

Master Zhu asked suspiciously, "Then ...... you?"

Tang Quan also looked at Wen Qing.

Wen Qing said seriously: "I want to make it clear to Uncle Tang that from today onwards, I may be a business rival with him, but business is business, and friends are friends." After all, Uncle Tang's timely appearance saved my family's cattle, and I am very grateful. ”

Saved his family's cow......

The corners of Master Zhu's mouth twitched.

Tang Quan laughed.

Wen Peng held the watermelon and looked up at Tang Quan laughing, then turned his head to see that Wen Qing's face was calm, and then felt that the atmosphere was quite harmonious, so he continued to nibble on the watermelon.

Tang Quan smiled and said: "Okay, Wen Qing, uncle knows, you can do it with confidence, where you need your uncle, your uncle will help you." You call me Uncle Tang, you can't let you call me in vain. ”

"Thank you, uncle, if there is a need, I will definitely trouble Uncle Tang." Wen Qing said with a smile.

"Little girl, you don't just want to come and talk to me about this, do you?" Tang Quan asked.

Wen Qing smiled: "Uncle Tang is really amazing. I was thinking that in the future, if my products were too late to be produced, I would like to borrow Uncle Tang's workers, and ask Uncle Tang to be willing to cooperate with me at that time. ”

Tang Quan and Master Zhu were stunned again.

Master Zhu thought to himself, this little girl's heart is really big, the full man doesn't know that the hungry man is hungry, you must know that Tang Quan Garment Factory has a year, and there is no order, Tang Quan almost sold his big shoes and cars to maintain the business, Tang Quan has been abroad, has been in China, and the salt she eats can be said to be more than the road that this little girl walks, this Wen Qing actually took it for granted that business is so good?

Master Zhu obviously disagrees with Wen Qing's attitude of looking down on business, and the high skill of garment making does not mean that the business mind is flexible.

Tang Quan is completely opposite to Master Zhu's cognition, he feels that Wen Qing's words are quite pragmatic, it is impossible to do business alone, sometimes it is important to rely on external forces.

For example, Wen Qing has no money and no manpower now, when the demand is greater than her manpower range, and she has no money to hire manpower, she needs a group that can help her get through a hurdle, and the funds will be withdrawn, and then she can expand her business.

Thinking of this, Tang Quan couldn't help but appreciate Wen Qing a little more in his heart, clapped his hands and said, "Okay!" Don't say I saved your cow, you saved my life, just come if you need it in the future! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Tang." Wen Qing smiled.

Wen Peng put down the watermelon and said, "Thank you, Uncle Tang." ”

Tang Quan looked at the time: "It's also time for dinner, last time you came to help, my uncle wanted to invite you, but I didn't get it, I have to go for a meal today anyway." ”

Wen Qing didn't shirk this time, and agreed with a smile: "Okay." ”

This time, a few people went to the Limin Hotel again and ordered a table full of chicken, fish, meat, and eggs.

Wen Qinggang came back from rebirth, he didn't pay much attention to food and the like, he had lived in this era for a long time, the noodles he usually ate were not fine noodles, and the dishes were not even seen with meat particles, and there were not a few pieces of oil flowers in the soup, not to mention the usual duck neck, pickled pepper phoenix feet, duck collarbones, biscuits, nuts and the like, which could not be eaten at all. Wen Qing gradually became greedy.

So, at the dinner table, she and Wen Pengke both satisfied their gluttony, and the two of them were full.

After the meal, Wen Qing rushed to pay for the meal, but Tang Quan didn't let Wen Qing pay anyway, and handed over a hundred yuan to Master Zhu and asked Master Zhu to pay.

Wen Qing had no choice but to say, "I'll invite you next time." ”

"Okay, little girl, I'll invite me when you make money."

"Okay, then Uncle Tang, I'll go back."

"I'll give it to you."

"No need, I've eaten too much with my friends, I have to go around and eat less."

Tang Quan smiled: "Okay, be careful on the road." ”

"Okay." Wen Qing pulled Wen Peng away.

Master Zhu looked at the background of Wen Qing and Wen Peng, and sighed: "I'm still too young, I don't know that everything is not easy." ”

Tang Quan looked at Master Zhu: "Not necessarily, we can wait and see." I'm optimistic about Wenqing. ”

Actually optimistic about Wenqing? Master Zhu looked at Wen Qing in puzzlement, he still felt that Wen Qing was too young, maybe he couldn't hold down the scene?

Wen Qing took Wen Peng around in the eyes of Tang Quan and Master Zhu.

"Eldest sister, the food at Limin Hotel is super delicious!" Wen Peng grinned and said that today he was happy to eat: "I have never eaten so much such delicious meat in my life." ”

Wen Qing laughed and reached out to touch his head: "How old are you, and you have a lifetime, stupid!" ”

Wen Pengle smiled, and after laughing, he reacted: "Sister, let's not go home here." ”

"It's still early, don't go home yet." Wen Qing said with a smile.

"So where are we going?"

"Find a house."

"What kind of house are you looking for?"

"The house where you live."

"Why are you looking for a house to live in?"

"Because the eldest sister doesn't want to live in the school dormitory, the eldest sister wants to live outside the school." Wen Qing said with a smile.

"Why don't you live in a dormitory?" Wen Peng asked again.

As soon as Wen Peng and Wen Qing were together, they had a lot of questions. Wen Qing didn't get close to Wen Peng in his previous life, and he especially wanted to love Wen Peng's younger brother a lot in this life. So I explained them to him one by one.

Wen Qing mentioned to Yao Shiling yesterday that she wanted to live off-campus, but Yao Shiling did not agree, and she also dismissed it at that time.

However, last night, when I saw the hole in the roof of my house getting bigger, I thought that I might not be there one day, so I dispelled this idea and grew crazy again, to the point where I had to do it now.

Therefore, she took Wen Peng to the area around Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School and began to look for a house.

She simply explained to Wen Peng that she had few classes, had no schoolwork, and usually either slept or slept in the dormitory, so she wanted to come out to live, and she could make clothes and shoes to earn some pocket money.

After hearing this, Wen Peng nodded like a little adult: "Eldest sister, then don't work too hard." ”

Wen Qing laughed and stretched out her hand to hold Wen Peng's face: "Little Pengpeng, you have eaten fat." The face is all bigger. ”

Wen Peng, who kneaded it, laughed: "I have eaten a lot of meat this year, and I have eaten twelve meals of meat, of course I am fatter than last year." ”

"In the future, the eldest sister will let you eat meat every day, okay?"

"Okay."

"Good!" Wen Qing put his arm around Wen Peng's shoulder: "Then, let's go, go and find a house with the eldest sister." ”

"Okay." Wen Peng reached out and grabbed Wen Qing's arm.

The siblings took the school as the base point and searched in all directions. In this era, rental housing in Nanzhou City was not as common as it was later, and many facilities were not perfect.

Wen Qing and Wen Qing for two or three hours, either there is no safety guarantee in the private housing area, or the surrounding environment is not good, and the overall rent is about three yuan in the first month, but it can't satisfy Wen Qing.

"Eldest sister, what kind of house are you looking for?" Wen Peng was a little tired.

Wen Qing was also a little tired: "It seems that I can't find it today, let's go back first, and when school starts, I'll find it myself." ”

"Okay then."

"Hmm." Wen Qing walked away, passing by a community called Greenland Garden, the outside of the community is very simple, the two large iron doors are semi-open, there is a wooden door above the iron gate, and the four green paint words of "Greenland Garden" are particularly obvious.

Wen Qing glanced inward, and there were rows of bungalows or three-story buildings in the community, which were very neat and clean.

"Pengpeng, let's go in and have a look, maybe there's a house for rent here." Wen Qing said.

"Okay."

After the sister and brother went in, they asked a few passers-by to inquire about it, and they really found the house.

The house is also quite good, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, bright and tidy, and there is electricity. It's that the rent is expensive, eight dollars and five a month.

Wen Peng tugged at the corner of Wen Qing's clothes and whispered: "Sister, the rent is too expensive, too expensive, the few we just saw are only three yuan a month." ”

"You get what you pay for." Wen Qing said with a smile.

Wen Peng: "But, but my mother will definitely nag if she knows that it is so expensive." ”

"It's okay, I'll talk to her when I get back." Wen Qing said.

Wen Qing was very satisfied with this house, and the landlord said that it was originally intended to be used as a wedding house for his son and daughter-in-law, but his son went to another place and bought a house in another place, and he didn't plan to come back to live, so the landlord wanted to rent it out and earn some pocket money.

Wen Qing walked around the house, picked a few flaws, and reduced the rent from eight yuan a month to eight yuan a month.

The landlord agreed. Immediately, Wen Qing pledged one to pay three, took out thirty-two yuan to the landlord, signed the rental contract, and took the key.

When Wen Qing and Wen Peng came out of the green garden, Wen Peng asked in disbelief: "Sister, will you live here in the future?" ”

Wen Qing: "That's right. ”

Wen Peng pointed back and said, "There's still electricity in that room." ”

"Yes."

"If I had a TV, would I be able to watch TV?" Wen Peng asked: "When I passed by the consignment store just now, I saw someone moving in that small square box, big sister, that is the TV, right?" ”

"Yes, the dealership has a black-and-white TV, and now a color TV."

"Sister, what is a color TV?"

"It's the color of the clothes that the people in it wear, and what we see is what kind of clothes, for example, green is green, red is green, not the kind of clothes we see only black and white." Wen Qing explained to Wen Peng in detail.

Wen Peng nodded as if he didn't understand.

The siblings talked as they went to the station to stop the car, and by the time they got off the bus, night had fallen.

Wen Qing went to Aunt Xiao again, and said a few words to Aunt Xiao, telling her not to worry, she thought of a way to solve the problem of the tailor shop, but she didn't have time to say, it was dark, and if she didn't go back, her mother would be worried.

Aunt Xiao urged her to hurry back.

Wen Qing pulled Wen Peng to trot all the way, and every household in the county lit lights, there were kerosene lamps and light bulbs, all of which were dim and yellow anyway.

There are many vendors on the streets, carrying bamboo baskets, or carrying wooden barrels, or pulling ox carts, shuttling and shouting in various lanes.

"The oil fruit tofu brain is here, and the oil fruit and tofu brain are sold." Avocado means fritters.

"The mutton is not salty, and the mutton is not salty!" Mutton is salty and not rotten is mutton, sheep's head, sheep boiled cooked rotten, put on the seasoning, the taste is soaked enough, especially delicious wine, before Wen Qing second uncle loved this dish under the wine.

"Twist flowers, crispy and crispy twist flowers!"

"Here comes the avocado tofu brain! Sell oil fruit tofu brain! ”

"The mutton is not salty, and the mutton is not salty!"

"Twist flowers, crispy and crispy twist flowers!"

“……”

With all kinds of shouts, just listening to the sound made me feel full of appetite, and many children who were about the same age as Wen Peng rushed to the vendor and shouted:

"Grandma, I want to drink tofu brain."

"Mom, I want to eat twist flowers."

There were also children rolling on the ground: "Eat mutton, buy mutton, eat mutton." ”

When Wen Qing looked at Wen Peng, Wen Peng was looking at the little boy eating the oil fruit with envy.

Wen Qing stopped and said, "Pengpeng, let's go, let's go buy it too." ”

Wen Peng pulled Wen Qing: "Sister, don't buy it, I won't eat it." ”

Wen Qing knew that Wen Peng was too expensive, and she really didn't have much money in her hands, so she said: "Sesame and twist cost four cents a piece, let's buy one, don't let my mother know, and then buy oil fruits and salty when you have money?" ”

"Good!"

When Wen Qing and Wen Peng were huddled in the children's pile waiting to buy twist flowers, they heard two familiar voices from behind them - Ji Ningzhi and Ji Yanjun.

Wen Qing was silent immediately, fortunately he stopped to buy twist flowers, otherwise it would not be a pleasant thing to meet them. Fortunately, it was dark now, and Uncle Twist only took a flashlight and didn't shine on her, so Ji Ningzhi and Ji Yan couldn't see her.

"Brother, come with me to the movies." Ji Ningzhi is coquettish again.

"No, no." Ji Yan was unmoved.

"And Sister Fang Fang, let's go and see it together."

"No, no." Ji Yanjun said firmly: "I won't say it a third time." ”

Wen Qing secretly glanced at the two of them, and saw Ji Yanjun walking forward with a tall figure, and Ji Ningzhi had been pestering.

"Brother, go, go, go together." Ji Ningzhi repeated.

Ji Yan didn't speak.

Ji Ningzhi was unhappy: "Why did you go to see it with Wen Qing before, why can't you go to see it with us." ”

Wen Qing's belly slandered: "What does it have to do with me?" ”

At this time, Wen Peng held the twist flower wrapped in oil paper and said, "Sister, buy it, let's go." ”

"Hmm." Wen Qing took Wen Peng's hand, pushed aside the crowd and walked onto the road, and began to trot.

"Why would you accompany Wen Qing to watch a movie, but not with us? You accompany her whatever she wants to do, why can't we? Ji Ningzhi asked again.

Ji Yanjun stopped at this time, and it happened that Uncle Twist's flashlight glanced at the road, he seemed to see Wen Qing, and he immediately found it, but Uncle Twist's flashlight had been withdrawn, and the road was pitch black, and what could be seen was that many children were running around on the road.

Ji Yanjun laughed at himself secretly, how could it be Wen Qing?

"Brother!" Ji Ningzhi was urging again.

Ji Yanjun looked at Ji Ningzhi: "Wen Qing is different from you. After speaking, Ji Yanjun turned his head.

"Brother!" Ji Ningzhi was secretly stomping her feet, she was packing tickets for Sister Fang Fang, her brother would definitely go to the movies, in the past, as soon as Wen Qing pulled her brother to watch a movie, her brother went, she thought her brother loved watching movies.

"Brother!" Ji Ningzhi shouted and chased after him.

At the same time, Wen Qing and Wen Peng had already run on the dirt road, and the two were afraid that Yao Shiling would be worried, so they ran so fast that Wen Peng didn't even have time to eat twist flowers.

"Pengpeng, can you still run?"

"Well, I can run, I may have run, and when I pick up monkey shells, I can run several villages." Wen Peng gasped.

"Don't talk, run faster, Mom must be worried."

"Hmm."

The two of them ran along the dirt road, beside the tall poplar trees, which were blowing, with starry sky above them and sporadic lights in front of them.

Originally, Wen Qing was afraid of walking at night, but at the moment he pulled Wen Peng, but he felt warm and not afraid at all.

"Eldest sister, is it our mother in front?" When the two of them were about to run to Shuiwan Village, they saw a figure walking towards this side with a dim light.

"Seems to be." Wen Qing said.

"Mom! Mother! Wen Peng shouted: "Mom is here to pick us up." ”

The dim light paused for a moment, and then shouted: "Wen Qing, Wen Peng, it's you, right?" ”

"Mom, it's me, it's me and my eldest sister!" Wen Peng pulled Wen Qing to sprint and ran to Yao Shiling.

Yao Shiling breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why haven't you two come back until now?" ”

"We're going to Nanzhou City." Wen Peng said first.

Wen Qing gasped and answered: "I went to Uncle Tang's place." ”

Yao Shiling saw that the sisters and brothers were panting heavily, so she didn't say more: "Let's go, go home first." Yao Shiling reached out and touched Wen Peng's head: "Look at you, sweating all over your head." ”

"My eldest sister and I came back on a run."

"Don't run next time."

"Okay."

"Have you eaten?"

"Nope."

"I just rolled the noodles, Wen Liang is boiling the pot, and I can eat it when I get home."

"yes, I like to eat noodles!" Cheers from friends.

When the family walked to the east of the village, Aunt Wang came out to see: "Wen Qing, Wen Peng is back, your mother is worried that it will be broken, and she has run more than ten times at this intersection alone." ”

Wen Qing and Wen Peng called Aunt Wang.

After Yao Shiling said a few words to Aunt Wang, she went home.

After Wen Qing and Wen Peng took a bath, they sat in the courtyard, with a kerosene lamp, and bowed their heads around a square wooden table to eat noodles.

Wen Peng took out a twist flower and divided it into four halves, one for Yao Shiling, one for Wen Qing, one for Wen Liang, and one for himself.

"You bought it again." Yao Shiling looked at Wen Qing.

Wen Qing smiled.

"You're delicious again, do you want to eat it?" Yao Shiling asked Wen Peng.

Wen Peng also smiled.

Yao Shiling, Wen Qing, and Wen Liang returned the twist to Wen Peng, and Wen Peng stuffed it into the hands of the three of them: "We haven't eaten it, let's try it together." After eating a quarter of his twist, he began to chop the noodles with the bowl in his hand.

Wen Qing touched Wen Peng's head and said, "Mom, eat, taste it." ”

Yao Shiling and Wen Liang did not refuse.

Wen Qing looked at the family, she didn't enjoy much family affection in her previous life, she tasted it in this life, and felt that it was so beautiful, although she was poor, but the spiritual world was full, full of love, and warmth.

Wen Qing held the bowl and looked at her mother and younger brother greedily, and couldn't help but think that the illness would come later in this life, and if she came later, she would be better to spend more time with her family.

"Eldest sister, hurry up and eat." Wen Peng urged: "My big bowl is almost finished, and you haven't eaten it yet." ”

Wen Qing smiled and began to eat noodles.

After eating, Wen Qing washed the dishes and walked to the cowshed.

Yao Shiling is using a broom to wash the legs of the cow, brush the hairs, now the weather is still hot, flies, gadfly have bitten the cow, give him a bath, brush the bristles, it is comfortable a lot and the appetite will be good.

"Mom." Wen Qing stepped forward and shouted.

Yao Shiling asked, "The dishes are washed." ”

"Hmm." Wen Qing hesitated for a while and said, "Mom, I won't live in school when I go back this time, I live in a house next to the school, and the rent is eight yuan a month." ”

Yao Shiling was stunned, but she was angry, but asked in surprise: "What are you renting a house for?" So expensive? ”

"I can't make clothes at school, it's a bit expensive, but when I go to class, the sewing machine is at home, and I feel at ease. I live cheaper, I'm afraid the sewing machine will be stolen. ”

"The sewing machine is also going to school?" Yao Shiling was even more surprised: "Then how do you study?" ”

Wen Qing saw that Yao Shiling was not in an opposing tone, but in a puzzled manner, and said with a smile: "Mom, my grades are very good, and when I wait for the final exam, I will show you the first place in the school." ”

"Poor mouth." Yao Shiling said: "Is it because there is a tailor shop opposite Aunt Xiao's tailor shop, do you want to do this?" ”

Wen Qing nodded: "Well, I want to make my own clothes and sell them." ”

Yao Shiling asked worriedly, "Can you sell it?" ”

Wen Qing said firmly: "Yes!" ”
